Scar Removal After Liposuction?

Five years ago I had liposuction performed on my upper thighs. The problem is, I still have noticable scarring and am wondering what I can do to remove the scarring, or at least diminsh it's appearance.

Though scars are permanent, there are often things that can be done to minimize them. These depend upon the nature of the scar - red, raised, depressed, thick, etc. Redness can often be diminished with IPL (Intnese Pulsed Light) which is similar to a laser. Thicker scars may require a surgical revision. Sometimes a cortisone-like product is injected. I would recommend seeing aplastic surgeon who can personally examine your scars and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
